Advertisement Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Hi Overgaard, Take a look here Lost picture from SD card, any Rescue possible?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
robsteve Posted June 4, 2008 Share #22 Posted June 4, 2008 Your posts are not clear. Did you loose DMR shots or the shots from a different camera? If the DMR asks to format the card, was that card formatted in another camera or using a computer? After you format the card in the DMR, does the DMR continue to ask you to format the card when you turn the camera on. What brand of card are you using? In your original post about the recovery software you having problems with, a poster suggested you increase the maximum file size from 15mb. A DMR file is a little over 19mb. It may have truncated your DMR files at 15mb. You didn't make it clear whether you were trying to recover the DMR files or the Canon files.

Robert First of all, I like to thank very very much you all. Second, I don't have any knowledge regarding firmware, which firmware, how to install, upgrade, what is in my dmr etc. Well, of course I lost the pictures made by DMR, I don't use SD card in my Canon 1DS II or other camera. I formated the card on DMR and took pictures and I did not take picture for a few days. Then when I want to take picture and switch the DMR/R9 on, it asks if I want to format while it has already been formated a few days ago and there are pictures. If I say no, then camera doesn't fire. The brand of the SD card is Transcend Thanks again you all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsteve Posted June 4, 2008 Share #24 Posted June 4, 2008 Your card has probably gone bad. Once you get your files off it, I would dispose of it or send it to trancend for replacement. If the DMR files are the ones you cannot open, check their size to see if your recovery program had limited them to 15mb, as suggested by a poster in your other thread.

andybarton Posted June 4, 2008 Share #25 Posted June 4, 2008 I've never used a file recovery program. I assume that it just needs to see a "file", and it doesn't care if it's a DNG, a jpg, or a xls file. A file is a file is a file... If it has to recognise a dng file when it sees one, then we are in trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Yes, the recovered file (I had chosen the option Tiff for some and JPG for some) is 15mb size in Tiff format. May be you are right the card is damaged but when I formated it, it works fine but don't know how long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it has to recognise a dng file when it sees one, then we are in trouble. Some will see DNG files as Tiffs, and all you have to do is change the file extension to .dng after they are recovered. The Sandisk RescuePro that shipped with some of the Extreme III cards works fine and recovers the dng files properly. Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsteve Posted June 4, 2008 Share #28 Posted June 4, 2008 Yes, the recovered file (I had chosen the option Tiff for some and JPG for some) is 15mb size in Tiff format. May be you are right the card is damaged but when I formated it, it works fine but don't know how long. Run the recovery program again, but set the limit to 20mb. Once they are recovered, rename them so the file extension is .dng. They should open then. Robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsteve Posted June 4, 2008 Share #29 Posted June 4, 2008 Yes! As long as you don't use the card for anything else before recovery. I use this to recover audio and it's always worked for me. Should work for jpg too: CONVAR & PCinspector Data Recovery Datenrettung recupero dati datarecovery récupération données When you open it, in the settings, choose an intensive scan (the slower one) and increase the maximum recovered file size to something north of your image size (think it's 15MB by default). Hope it works for you. You need to follow the direction to set the maximum recovered file size to something larger than the 19mb DNG files the DMR creates. When the files are recovered, change the file extension to .dng if it is .tif. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the program, but try under the file menu and then settings. You could also try to PM the original poster. He seemed familiar with the software.

mhoutman Posted June 5, 2008 Share #34 Posted June 5, 2008 I remember getting a free copy of PhotoRescue with a Sandisk SD card a while ago although I don't know if Sandisk is still offering this deal but it might be worth checking out if you're considering buying an extra SD card.

IMast Posted June 8, 2008 Share #39 Posted June 8, 2008 Rescue Pro bundled free with Sandisk Extreme 3 cards has worked for me twice. Once to recover pictures from a faulty card for my brother-in-law and the second as an experiment to see if it would work after I formatted a card in my CLux. It did the latter with no problem at all but it does take time- if you have a lot of pictures on the card then set it running and go and have a drink! Bear in mind that if you have subsequently taken more pictures on the card then the previous ones now overwritten will not be recoverable. Best of luck Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
